Celebrating connection and collaboration, stay warm inside and out this winter with a new season of Drawn in at the National Portrait Gallery. Surround yourself with the sweet sounds of local musical duos as you take the opportunity to draw face-to face with your favourite person – or someone new!

Drawn in is a series of drawing sessions once a month at the Gallery with live local musicians. We invite you to (literally) draw inspiration from the music and sounds created by featured musicians.

This Sunday, draw to the rich textures and melodic improvisations of string duo Tabitha (cello) and Christopher (guitar) from Sonance Strings as they weave a sonic tapestry of contemporary, indie and folk sounds through a mix of originals and covers.

All materials provided; for all ages and abilities.

This performance is one of three for our winter Drawn in series: Face-to-Face.
